Explore Singapore with these weekend driving adventures

If you’ve just arrived in Singapore and haven’t decided on owning or leasing a car, car rental can be a good start; you’ll soon see how convenient it is to be behind the wheel.

Keng Soon Auto has a fleet of well-maintained vehicles (sedans, SUVs, MPVs and prestige cars) to choose from, that you can lease throughout your stay here. Their hassle-free rental means you don’t have to worry about COE (Certificate of Entitlement), permits, taxes, maintenance or insurance.

Below are just a few ideas for places to visit on your driving adventure!

CONEY ISLAND

Opened for two years now, Coney Island is an ecologically sustainable park that focuses on conserving energy and water, and recycling and retaining the natural environment. The park is home to 80 species birds and a relatively pristine beach.

Pit Stop: Try The Punggol Settlement next to the island, or drive to the nearby Seletar Aerospace Park for trendy dining at The Oval.

Pit Stop: Head to nearby Bistro Gardenasia, which is a peaceful place for a bite (and pet-friendly!)
